TIPS: Prevent Theft from Vehicles

Always lock your vehicle

Keep valuables out of your vehicle or at least out of plain view by placing them in the trunk

Take your purse/wallet with you. Suspects will use victims credit/debit cards

Do not leave your windows down (even slightly)

Keep your vehicle locked, even for a few seconds (when out shopping, dropping off kids, etc.)

Unload your valuables immediately upon returning home

Don't leave valuable items in your vehicle overnight

Park in a well-lit area

Always secure your vehicle even when parked in your driveway

Set your car alarm or anti-theft device when not in use

Work trucks and vans should not be left with tools inside the bed, camper or cargo area. These are easy targets for theft
